I am not a gambling man but if you look over the last 2-3 years at the double header concerts it appears heavily weighted to a recreation on the second night 1st night is 15/9 elective/recreation 2nd night is 10/20 elective/recreation That puts the 2nd show at a 50% greater chance of having a recreation But it’s still a 50/50 chance they will or won’t play an elective on saturday. Lol.

This may sound pathetic, but I downloaded Hardpan’s 3+ Hour recording and listen to the whole thing tonight on my flight between Philly and Des Moines. It fit perfectly in the hours between. Ahhh the memories, seems like just yesterday!

I’m listening to Hardpan’s recording of this show on Relisten its perfect. I was at the show and now I’m there again. Thanks so much for your efforts and time!! 😁

I’m nominating Izaacb for this year’s New Member of the year award, for correctly calling the 6/9/73 show Please upvote this !!!

Perfectly said BillK522 and Greg. I wish I were able to express my feelings and thoughts in a similar manner. But I’m more of a lover than a writer. I waited for that MD opening song in hopes of it kicking off the 6/10/73 show, but didn’t give a shit after Promise land filled the anthem. Such a good time. I love the vibe when everyone around me is just tied to every note. The couple next to me smiled and dance for all 4 hours, I couldn’t help telling them how great it was. His response: “nothing left to do but smile smile smile”. i responded a corny “jerry loves you”. After the show they hunted me down and both gave me a hug. It meant a lot to me. I’m slowly meeting members of the board at the shows but still enjoy “being on the outside”. Met Hardpan and his brother Jake. 2 gentlemen for sure, and saw Gregfromchester in his signature classic tie dye. Hope to dance together with more of you. Let the winter tour begin!

the first strum of MD sets the tone, capturing some sense of apocalyptic end. i don’t hear it every time, but when it hits, U can sense the event. Epic!

June 10th 1973 possibilities have forced me to buy a ticket and take the trip from Philly

Reed said Matt is from the area and they always seem to put a special show together for that venue . He said they did a few NYE shows there too.

Long Island show was super strong, great performance. A bonus was no traffic on LIE . I didn’t need sunglasses, the lights were supportive and not an audience intrusion, in fact the guy next to me during the Drum leaned over and said “those blue lights are perfect , almost luminescent” . LOL. He was right, and I swear I hadn’t previously mentioned my light fetish . great night . It was worth every mile of the 3 hour ride home. Not that any one would care , but I hung all night with my buddy Reed, whom I met at my second DSO show and hadn’t seen for about a year and half. It was great to c he was still alive . He was traveling around in 2016-2017 to all the east coast shows but took this year off to work . Kids and their work ethics... Wish I could have hung around for tonight’s show too.

I was about 7 rows back from center. couldnt miss the energy from the 3 guys and 7 gals jumping from the first note All good by me, feel the music and show it. They were gone after first set the kid that collapsed may have been with that group so they all left. beyond that episode, everything seemed chill and didn’t c anything unusual its no EDM show. The DSO shows r tame events

Newyearker next time keep changing your location until the people around u bring u in

So Yo Island Bro . I ain't so shore we have met. Till i sea u Rock. and that's my first (and most likely last ) attempt at a haiku

I tell people that story whenever someone mentions RR. About how I spent an hour looking for the perfect place and found it. It was smack in the middle at row 25, PERFECT ! BUT by the time I found it, there were no open seats, they were all taken. But some women behind me must have seen me searching and says “ hey u can join us” .. I was like yes! SCORE!! I started talking to the guy with her and he says “ I think I know u” . I say “nope!” He says “were u at the NYE show in Philly?” I say “ yup, but I don’t remember u”. He says “ok”. We talk a bit more. The music starts, he starts to dance, I point at him and I say “I do know u, ur a chemist, ur Joe !” I travel 1500 miles and gravitated to a spot among 10000 people to hang with the same people I danced with on NYE. RR magic at work. Thanks DSO

Well I’m glad I only have a few T-shirt’s then. 2 boys , 1 boy 1 girl, 2 girls . It’s all the same to me . Joe is u husband!? Love that guy. Well it’s good to know you. I will be at the Tempe and Las Vegas show since my daughter is a ASU and I can c her also if anyone wants tickets to Pre-NYE show in Philly, PM me and I can get u the tickets at the box office and save u that extortion fee from TM

PG U said u may c Huk? i think I hung with u @ red rock show. i was looking for a place to sit and u invited me to sit with u If ur married to a chemist and have two boys , then ur that person Huk’s a great high energy dancer , who said to me after the first song “ok, that’s it. Do We need more?” . If ur that person , thank u for welcoming me. I had the greatest time because of ur invitation. Thanks again, and I hope ur winter brings u balance.

Worth the drive from Philly great show with a great crowd. bs69 , the strum of the guitar by Matt to end NFA was because the crowds beat was so off, Eaton couldn’t get back in. He tried like 3-4 times and was kinda at a loss until Matt just thru out the strom. I’ve been at shows where the NFA chant doesn’t work and just ends. Last night wasn’t the case , I appreciated the band keeping to the audience participation of the past....

I get tired of typing “ great show,” but it was . Rob and Dino gave captivating Drum. Favorite - to date, leaving me room in the future. Stella blue - incredible (no FB yell out) and the song once hated , now loved Looks Like Rain ,fit this rainy Pittsburg weather , thanks Rob!! Being 60 and loving the music with people 20-25 who feel the same is such a great experience! Not sure if there’s anything like it. Love the energy lost my Airbnb last night and drove 1.5 hours in rain to the salt fork state park , set Up at primative camp site at 2am in the dark , crashed till 11 and just got back from a hike by a lake with pine needle covered trail (worth the lost Airbnb) . Going to Columbus show , I will leave my tent and return tonight after another “great show” thanks DSO

great new thread! thanks mango . i'm outside of ardmore. wish i'd heard of her before today. i will put her on while driving as background

Did anyone understand the cryptic statement from Bob “the last set will make sense tomorrow” ? Any thoughts also one of the Best Box of Rain’s I’ve heard !!

Rude did u need a ticket for each show in Berkeley? For some reason I am thinknjng 1 tickets gets u 2 shows. Have I been in CA enjoying the smoke too long ?

The town is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen . The audiance did give a standing Ovation in support of the show. Now I really feel bad, I guess I was feeling like “hey!!! how can u not love this so much as to not stand and sway”. Heading to Berkeley show tonight with a more open mind and no more critiques

Ok I reread my post I was a bit harsh yes the music was great

Great set list was offset by lame seated crowd . Vibe was that of a funeral or church service With the few Happy fans scattered about annoying the morning crowd wouldn’t do that venue again

I couldn’t describe my experience any better than u just did. Love being upfront dancing in the enjoyment of all around me . Met two great guys from philly who drank their share of the music and poured it back out In waves . Greatest feeling. Before the show started, I was greeted by a guy proudly pointing his finger at his Jamaica Jam 2018 T-shirt and then he proceeded to dance the night away with a women who was as special as the show. These shows for me are 50% people 50% music and such a great great thing . can’t wait for the next one.

Looking forward to this acoustics show.
